Alma 2:36
As the Nephites fought in the strength of the Lord the Lamanites began to flee before them and scatter in every direction. The Nephites did not allow them to escape freely, but did pursue them and slay them. They met and drove the Lamanites and the Amlicites on every hand. Among those of the Lamanites who finally escaped to the wilderness called Hermounts, many died of the wounds they had received. In our battle with the forces of Satan we must not be content to let them flee when we gain the upper hand. We must press our advantage and either destroy evil movements or inflict wounds which might cause their death even if they escape into the wilderness.
